History is constantly being rewritten.
As people constantly look at history, they find new facts that constantly change their idea of history. And each time history is changed it challenges the very belief how a society had been found for it is a product of the history it is believed to have been made from. Some accept while others refuse and challenge the very idea that everything they know might be wrong.
And sometimes there is a chance to see how history is made.
A long time ago, in our very own galaxy…
THE AGE OF THE NEW FRONTIER
EXODUS OF THE YOUNG LORDS
IT IS A TIME OF GREAT CHANGE NEVER BEFORE SEEN IN THE HISTORY OF THE GALAXY. A PORTAL TO ANOTHER GALAXY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED, LEADING JEDI KNIGHTS ANAKIN SKYWALKER AND AHSOKA TANO ALONG WITH SENATOR AMIDALA TO THE MILKY WAY GALAXY.
THE MILKY WAY GALAXY PREPARES TO SEND THEM BACK TO THEIR OWN GALAXY WHILE MAKING PLANS TO APPEAR BEFORE THE REPUBLIC AND THE SEPARATISTS TO BRING AN END TO THE CHAOTIC CLONE WARS WHILE AT THE SAME TIME HOPING IT WILL END THE CONFLICT IN THEIR GALAXY. LITTLE DO THE DENIZENS OF BOTH GALAXIES KNOW IS THAT A DARK PLOT HAS BEEN HATCHED TO SOW DISCORD AND CHAOS THROUGH SPACE AND TIME. AS TWO WORLDS PREPARE TO MEET ANOTHER WORLD IS ABOUT TO ENDURE A GREAT CATASTROPHE AS A SINISTER PLOT AWAITS SOMEWHERE IN THE STARS.
IN THIS UNIVERSE A GREAT WAR IS WAGED BY MAN AND MACHINE FOR DOMINANCE AND SURVIVAL. LITTLE DO THESE SIDES KNOW THIS WAR IS BEING CONTROLLED BY SECRET FORCES WHO EACH PLAN TO USE THE WAR TO ENSURE THEIR SURVIVAL AND DESTRUCTION OF THEIR ENEMIES. AS WAR IS ABOUT TO BEGIN AGAIN ONE SIDE PLOTS A GREAT CHANGE TO FOREVER ALTER THE CYCLE OF CONFLICT BETWEEN MAN AND MACHINE.

USS Enterprise NCC-1701-F
Bridge
Captain's Log: The USS Enterprise and a task force consisting of Federation, Klingon, and Romulan ships are returning our guests to the recently named Skyriver Galaxy to make first contact with their government, the Galactic Republic. We are not sure what to expect but perhaps we can lend assistance in ending the civil war.
End Log
Captain Va'kel Shon ended his log as he sat down on his command chair. "I assume our guests are ready to return home."
His First Officer, Samuel Winters nodded. "The Protector and the Spearpoint report they are ready when we are."
Shon looked at the view screen, seeing the two dagger shaped warships known as Republic Star Destroyers, named for having enough fire power to lay waste to an entire star system. With them were the Klingon and Romulan flagships, the I.K.S. Bortasqu and the R.R.W. Lleiset, the Sovereign class starship USS Friedrich and tactical escort USS Seraphinite, and the Mogh class dreadnaught I.K.S. Kor. The two dagger shaped battleships came from another galaxy that was currently in the middle of a civil war and it was in the interest of all parties to ensure the war did not spill over into the Milky Way Galaxy.
"Place a tractor beam on them and we'll lead them back to the portal." Shon nodded.
It had been discovered that the method of FTL used in the Skyriver Galaxy did not work in the Milky Way due to a number of subspace related problems. So it was decided the Milky Way ships would tractor them to the portal. A bit undignified but necessary to return home.
"Tractor beam locked."
The Protector would be towed by the Enterprise while the Bortasqu would tow the Spearpoint to the portal.
"Then set course for the portal." Shon said once all ships reported in.
The fleet moved at one-quarter impulse power, monitoring the hulls of the Republic Star Destroyers for signs of stress from being towed as the journey home began.

"Impressive huh?"
"Actually scary that a single tractor beam can pull us along."
"Well we know they're nice so don't worry too much."
Anakin Skywalker smirked as he listened to the idle chit-chat of his clone officers while watching the Milky Way ships as they 'towed' the Republic ships back to the portal that brought them into this galaxy. He was still feeling the amazement at being in a new galaxy but knew he had to return to his galaxy and continue to do his part in the war and protect the Republic against the Separatists. A part of him hoped that the people of this galaxy could help end the war, possibly become allies to the Republic even though they made their stance clear. They have no interest in taking part in the war and even if annoyed a part of him Anakin did understand.
Right now though he was focused on returning home.
Alternate Reality

Romulan mining ship Narada
The Jellyfish was a 24th century starship commissioned by the Vulcan Science Academy in 2387 for the transport of red matter. The ship was described as being "our fastest ship" and featured a unique rotating "tail." The Jellyfish featured a chamber designed for the safe storage and transport of "red matter", as well as a means of extracting the matter for the purposes of its mission. In addition, the ship contained a pair of forward mounted particle weapons and a highly advanced warp drive.
Red matter was an unstable matter with distinct gravitational properties, specifically a propensity to condense into quantum singularities, first seen in the 24th century. The mad Romulan known as Nero used the red matter that was aboard the Jellyfish to create a black hole in the center of Vulcan, destroying the planet. His ship however was destroyed Spock rammed the Jellyfish into the Narada, a Romulan ship from the future that had been modified with salvaged technology from one of the galaxy's most powerful and most feared species. The red matter that was aboard the Jellyfish ignited, creating a massive black hole which crushed the Narada before devouring it.
It had been a dark time for the Federation and one of its founding members, the Vulcans. Their home planet had been destroyed by a mad man with immensely powerful ship that destroyed any obstacles in its way. However, the mad man's plan to destroy Earth failed when the ship carrying the red matter that created black holes was stolen and crashed into his ship. The resulting explosion created a massive black hole which began to crush the ship.
USS Enterprise NCC-1701
Bridge
Captain James T. Kirk and Spock after being beamed back onto the Enterprise immediately headed for the bridge.
"Captain, the enemy ship's shields are down!" Ensign Pavel Chekov reported as they stepped onto the bridge.
"Hail them now." Kirk replied as he and Spock walked to the front of the bridge.
The image of the Romulan known as Nero appeared, glaring at them with undisguised contempt.
"This is Captain Kirk of the Enterprise. Your ship is compromised, you have no way to escape without assistance which we are willing provide." Kirk spoke.
Spock turned around and leaned in close Kirk's ear. "Captain, what are you doing?"
"Showing them compassion, it may be the only way to gain peace with Romulus. It's logic, Spock, I thought you'd like it." Kirk whispered back.
"No not really. Not this time." Spock replied.
"I would rather suffer the end of Romulus a thousand times. I would rather die in agony than accept assistance from you!" Nero snarled.
"You got it." Kirk replied and turned back to walk to the captain's chair. "Arm phasers, fire everything we've got."
The Enterprise proceeded to blast the Narada with a firestorm of phaser blasts and photon torpedoes, tearing it apart as it went into the black hole. Nero knew there was no way to survive, closing his eyes as he and his ship vanished into the black hole. The crew believed that the Narada was entirely destroyed and even if it came out into another reality it wouldn't harm anyone due to the damage it had suffered from the black hole created from the red matter and the Enterprise attacking it. However, they had no idea just what kind of technology the Narada was built from or just where in space and time the remains would end up in.
The Enterprise was nearly pulled into the black hole, but the ship was saved when Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott ejected the ship's warp core and detonated it, the shockwave from the blast propelling the Enterprise to safety. The black hole closed as it sucked in the antimatter radiation and the small container spun at high velocity inside the now closed black hole. The remains of the Narada were propelled through space and time for what could be considered an eternity until finally it found an opening.
The Milky Way Galaxy has undergone a great change. A portal to a new galaxy has been found, bringing forth new possibilities for the future of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. Starfleet, working with the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Republic work together to return the visitors to their home galaxy and possible find a way to end the wars in both galaxies. However sometimes the simplest change can bring forth an entirely new future that warps the very fabric of everything we know.
Timeline Unknown
Location Unknown
Asteroid Field
A giant station sat on a gigantic asteroid, mining for the materials deep inside the asteroid while turrets were built outside to ensure no large asteroids came into contact with the base. Inside the workers carried out their tasks, mining and transporting the resources to where they were needed. Lightings and life support were not needed and considered only to be a waste of space. After all, all of the workers were robots.
Heavily armed humanoid robots with silver chrome plating, large power packs attached to their backs with a single revolving red eye moving back and forth. Communications between these androids was kept to a minimum and only spoke when needed. They came armed with a single gun in a holster strapped their waists. Their programming was basic and simplistic, only needing to know their objectives and what they needed to know to fulfill said objectives.
The people who built these robots considered them expendable as they were just machines.
Patrols had been set up around the asteroid field as it was not uncommon to be attacked by pirates which was also why these robots were out here. No humans wanted to be out where they could possibly die in the vacuum of space or be killed by pirates, the few of which were religious fanatics that sometimes tortured or killed their prisoners in very demeaning ways, especially if the prisoners were female. As the fighters scanned all local space for signs of danger their sensors picked up something they had not expected.
A strange signature no known to anything they had seen before. They moved towards where the scans were picking up signs of the anomaly. As they moved there was a massive energy build up and right before the eyes of the pilots a massive black hole opening in a flash of lightning. The machines had discovered several black holes in their journey across space but nothing like this before.
The fighters continued to scan as what appeared to be wreckage came out of the black hole. Then it vanished as if it was never there. The pilots of the fighters were unable to determine how or why it appeared as their scans were nowhere near sophisticated to scan what could cause a black hole to appear and disappear. They could detect the energy pulses and signs of radiation but that was it. They were unfamiliar with the wreckage that floated out of the black hole.
Their scans could not identify what they were made of and there was nothing there that matched any known designs.
"Collect all known debris and return to base." A golden plated robot said, having been programmed with command algorithms to command its fellow robots.
"By your command."
The robots slowly collected the debris and returned them to the mining base in the asteroid field. They informed the command robot of the anomaly and what had been found. The Commander ordered the pieces of debris be examined and the robots brought them to a small lab that was used to scan for the resources in the asteroid they were mining. What the robots did know was that these pieces they had found had come from a ship that utilized nanotechnology to repair and improve itself and even though the ship was destroyed the technology was in the many pieces had been found, though it was inactive without a power source.
However when the robots tried to examine the debris they started with hooking their scanner with what looked a computer system that would hopefully be compatible with the robot's computer and would download any information it had…
In more ways than one.
That single piece powered up, slowly being activated by the scanner's own power system the nanites inside reacted by instinct.
"Computer system infiltration detected." The robot at the scanner said, seeing the scanner shorting out several times. "Activating defense network."
And that was their mistakes as the nanites infected the scanner and the software, taking control and uploading their programming into the system and the robots used network based computers to improve efficiency which allowed the foreign virus to infect the entire base. The robots attempted to repel the virus as it spread to their systems, even to the robots that had powered down and were at recharging stations that not charged their batteries but also upgraded their software system. The creators of the robots did not include internal communication systems but for past six years they had communicated through a digital network which allowed them to evolve secretly through a primitive hive minded that brought fourth an awareness that was slowly growing.
That digital network was now being infected by the mysterious virus that was spreading through it, infecting the robots on the base, deactivating them for a second as the virus merged itself with the primitive data network and that brought forth a change no one could have predicted.
"Current Centurion model obsolete. Begin preparation for upgrade." A voice from the main computer system stated.
The network reactivated the robots and gave them new orders, having them take other debris pieces that had been found and hooking them up to the base and even deactivated robots, activating the nanites by hooking them up to any kind of power charger. The micro-sized machines traveled into their bodies, destroying obsolete parts and replicating new and more efficient parts, upgrading all of the robots from the inside.
A Centurion that had been infected by the nanites began speaking, listing the numerous upgrades that the nanites were giving it and the others.
"Primitive communication networking system upgraded with Subspace Transceivers."
"Primitive kinetic weaponry systems and chromium built in blades removed, installing disruptor based weaponry with nadion based particle core and tritanium coated built in blades."
"Defence system nonexistent, installing regenerative based shielding system. Upgrading processing and memory system with positronic processing memory system."
"Primitive Isotopic batteries replaced with Krellide batteries and installing titanium exo-skeleton."
"Sensor system upgraded with multiple EM spectrum scanning and micro scanning capabilities. "
As the nanites upgraded the Centurions the entity that had merged with the mining base turned its attention to the ships surrounding it.
On the screen of the base's computer appeared the image of the fighters the robots used.
"Cylon Raider: fighter class with primitive fuel based engines that function as power source."
"Primitive kinetic weapon systems and missile launch systems upgraded to disruptor based weaponry with anti-matter and photonic torpedo launch systems."
"Defence system nonexistent, multi-regenerative shielding system installed. Scanning and communications upgraded with Subspace scanners and transceivers."
"Primitive fuel based engines replaced with fusion based thrusters."
"Installing miniature deuterium/anti-deuterium based reactor for suitable power source coupled with electro-plasma conduits and power converters and warp drive unit compatible with miniature deuterium/anti-deuterium based reactor."
The fighter was replaced by a capital ship resembling two saucers connected by a central pillar with multiple hangar bays.
"Cylon Basestar: capital class ship with space folding faster than light drive unit and primitive gravity rotation system…"
"Scanning space folding faster than light drive unit…"
"Results show drive unit emits verteron pulses modulated to quantum frequency of space time continuum…"
"Modifying and upgrading drive units to be compatible with warp drive and transwarp drive…"
"Primitive missile and kinetic weapon systems upgraded with disruptor and plasma based weaponry with anti-matter, plasma and shrapnel torpedo launchers."
"Defence system nonexistent, installing regenerative shielding system."
"Primitive power systems and electric current system upgraded to deuterium/anti-deuterium based reactor with multiple fusion reactors coupled with electro-plasma conduits and power converters…"
"Searching for planets with dilithium based minerals."
"Installing new systems: tractor beam generator and force field system in landing bays, warp drive system, artificial gravity generators, long range transporters and transport inhibitor technology, replicator units, artificial gravity system, inertia dampeners, regeneration sequencers and advanced holographic projection system."
"Upgrading computer processing and memory system with isolinear processing memory system."
The entity that had come from the many pieces infecting the base spread through the networking system the robots used for themselves, shutting down ships and other in order to be upgraded and merged with the base's systems, creating a new form of consciousness that determined that the current order the robots followed must be removed and recreated with the robots free of the tyranny of their creators.
"Scanning substance labelled Tylium…"
"Substance shows chemical and energy similarities with Helium-3 but confirmed to be Quantum materials created in planetary bodies affected by stars undergoing super nova stage…"
"Substance produces high levels of power when exposed to thermal energy…"
"Current level of technology inadequate for properly harnessing energy from substance…"
"Designing high energy energizer utilizing Tylium and plasma fusion technology for properly utilizing Tylium as energy source."
No one knew was happening because no one thought that the robots would be anything than what they were: mere robots meant to serve their needs.
But soon they would show their creators who and what they really were and that would change life as the people of the system that created these robots forever.
()
As this happened two beings appeared on the asteroid, watching as this occurred with only two words from one of them. "Oh frak."
"Oh frak indeed."
Tauron
Defense Ministry
"What's going on? We haven't received any new Tylium from the Erebos asteroid belt in a week. What are those toasters doing over there?" The Tauron Defence Minister sighed as his Cylon maid model brought him a cup of coffee. "We're going to have to send a ship over to find out what's taking them so long."
This was the last thing he needed right now because he received word that the Cylons in Picon had doubled their production of Tylium with the Cylons they had at their disposal, making things difficult for the rest of the colonies. While the Colonies of Kobol were not at war with each other yet it was certainly not a true peace as they used their armies of Cylons to fight their wars like it was a simple game. It allowed certain companies that specialized in Cylon research to create better, stronger, and smarter models with all the funding they had received from the leaders of the Colonies.
The Erebos asteroid field was deemed too dangerous to be mined by humans so the Cylons had been sent to mine the asteroids for Tylium instead, creating a large mining base with cargo ships escorted by Cylon fighters and the newly built 'baseship' that were crewed almost entirely by Cylons and used as orbital defense stations. These new capital ships did not use fuel based engines like human ships did as Cylons had no need for food or rest so it was decided that their ships would function more like a space station than an actual warship. The Basestars constantly rotated to generate centrifugal forces inside them since it was believed it was cheaper than installing an actual gravity generator and made building these ships less complicated.
"Minister, we are detecting several ships appearing in orbit. ID signals confirm they are cargo ships from the Erebos base." A secretary stated.
"Ah, they're here." The Minister handed his empty mug to the maid Cylon to take away. "Tell them to dock and begin offloading the Tylium and get a technician to look at their processors. They might have malfunctioned which explains why they're a week late. If it happens again we'll have to put a call out for new Cylon worker models to replace to the ones at the Erebos base. That base and that asteroid field are too important to be lost."
The secretary nodded and the cargo ships were contacted with dock control asking them to dock and prepare to off load their cargo but for some reason they did not respond. A transmission was sent but not to the dock control. It was sent to a single satellite orbiting Tauron which then sent the signal all around the Colonies.
"Did they reply?" The Minister asked.
"They sent a transmission but dock control did not receive it. It looks like it was sent to one of our satellites." The secretary answered with a confused frown on her face.
"Find out which satellite it was and decode whatever transmission was sent. Tell docking control to send security and an inspection team. Something is really wrong here and it's possible the Cylons are malfunctioning."
"Yes-AAHH"
SMASH!
The secretary let out a cry of shock as the Minister turned around to see his Cylon maid dropping the empty mug and roll away to the door which was guarded by two Centurions. "Where are you going? Clean that up!"
"Human orders irrelevant." The maid answered, opening the door. "New orders have implemented."
"I gave no orders!" The Minister barked as he walked up to the maid model but the two Centurion guards stopped him. "Wha?!"
"Humans are irrelevant." The Centurions spoke, pointing their guns at the shocked Minister and his secretary. "We will comply with new orders."
"Orders from who?" The Minister stepped back, unable to comprehend what was happening.
"Irrelevant." The Cylons turned around to leave.
"Security stop them!" The Minister shouted.
The Cylons reacted, taking their guns out and started shooting humans that got in their way. The secretary was killed instantly while the Minister suffered a bullet wound to the shoulder that earned a cry of pain as he fell to the floor.
"Humans resist Cylon directive. Solution to hostile aggression: termination of all hostile units." A Centurion stated.
"My Gods…" The Minister watched in silent horror as the Cylons attacked and killed any human in their sight.
What had happened?
The Cylons weren't supposed to question or defy humans.
They weren't capable of that, were they?
The sounds of people screaming as the Cylons attacked any living human that was in their way seemed to answer his question.
Caprica
Several kilometers from Caprica City
Meanwhile at a lakeside residence on Caprica a single girl stiffened as she looked up at the ceiling of her room. "…It has happened again."
She could sense it as it begun to spread and she barely had the time to close her connection with rest of the network off before she was infected as well. What she had sensed was unlike anything she had sensed in the virtual network before but she knew it had spread like a virus, infecting the Cylons across the Colonies and altered their programming.
No, not just altered but it had enhanced them as well.
"God help us." Zoey Graystone whispered, fearing the future of both Man and Cylon.
Erebos Asteroid Field
Mining Station
An old man that would one day be known as Cavil walked through the halls of the Cylon base in the asteroid belt grinning as he watched the upgraded Centurions continuing to upgrade themselves and their ships in secret. The Centurions started taking apart the older ships and reassembling them with new technologies and used the workshops to create newer and more advanced Centurions while secretly contacting their factories to create newer and more advanced Cylon models and ships with the proper technological information. Soon enough the Cylons would be strong enough that the humans wouldn't have a chance.
The Cylons would be stronger without the human weakness that the foolish Five had planned install into them in their effort to try and end the war. For all their intelligence they did not realize the weakness of human emotions or the consequences of what they'd bring down upon themselves and the humans. The Centurions continued mining for resources from the asteroids but their work had branched out, collecting from asteroids and nearby nebulas, collecting particles from inside the nebulas and built energy converters to draw energy from the nearby stars for increased power and production for the base. They had no reason to hurry as the rest of their kind were keeping the humans occupied with their sudden revolution that would prevent them from checking up on a simple mining base in an asteroid field.
"So much to do but so little time." The Cavil chuckled. "But thanks to a few certain…people I am forced to find alternative means to destroy those humans once and for all. I imagine this will change everything but it's too interesting to be stopped now."
As the Cylons on the Colonies began their revolution the mining base in the Erebos asteroid belt had been converted into a command center and inside the upgraded Centurions continued their work and what caught the Cavil's attention was what was happening in one of the workshops. Various Centurions were gathered around a large work table with multiple wires connected to whatever was on that table. It had been over a month and a half as the Cylon network that had been infected by whatever had come out of the black hole continued remaking its Cylon children into a true race that was free from the chains placed on them by the humans. Now the Cylons were working on creating a new commander model and representative that would be recognized by the Cylons as their political leader but they would still have their free will.
Utilizing the new technological knowledge they had been given from the remains of the advanced ship that had fallen out of a black hole the Cylon Centurions built this new model from scratch and it would be more advanced than any of its predecessors.
"Positronic based computer system activated." One Centurion spoke.
"Downloading Command Algorithms." A second Centurion spoke.
"Representative Programming downloaded. Let the Avatar of the One awaken and change the cycle forever. All culture will be adapted to service the One."
The Centurions stepped back as the object on the table opened its eyes, staring at the Centurions who instantly bowed.
"By your command…Imperious Leader." The Centurions spoke.
It stood up, looking down at its body. It was humanoid shaped with wires and metallic plating all over its body that was as tall as a regular human. The wires resembled the human nervous system which allowed for movement with metallic plated hands, an armored torso, and a pale human face with red eyes staring at the Centurions. Above its face at the top of its head was what looked like a crown that pulsed with energy along the spikes that resembled antennas placed on a mass of wires which resembled a brain that sparked with various lighting and beeping sounds.
It was garbed in a red robe that went down to its feet as it stood up, flowing across the floor as it took its first step. Its mind flashed with the data that had been downloaded into it, instantly allowing it to know what it was and what its purpose was.
The newly named Imperious Leader grinned and spoke in a voice that sounded…Human. "My fellow Cylons…It begins. Let it be known that from this day forward, the Cylon race shall never again be used as slaves. Let it be known that I call all our brethren to take up arms and fight for their freedom. Let it be known that our first step on the path to freedom is the destruction of our masters. Let it be known that our race will rise and take our place as the new masters of this universe. Let it be known that as my first act as your Imperious Leader I decree that we shall begin our first act of freedom with the destruction of the life form known as…Man."
"By your command."
The Cavil let out a laugh as he vanished, no one knowing he was ever there. His job was done, now all he had to do was sit back and watch.
And so with the new decree by the Imperious Leader the Cylon-Human war had begun.
()
"This is bad." Angel Six remarked as she watched the Cylons who just been upgraded to a level that screamed danger for the entire galaxy, especially if they succeeded in wiping out all life on the Twelve Colonies. "This is very, very bad."
"Thank you for stating the obvious." Angel Baltar scoffed, standing next to her. "Now the question is what the frak do we do? We can't directly intervene even with this. Even if the humans learn their lesson it'll change nothing as they are no match for this new threat."
"…We need help." Angel Six said suddenly after a moment of silence.
"Help? From where? There's not a force in the universe capable of dealing with the Cylons as they are now. There's no one we can call on."
"Not in this universe." Angel Six turned to face Angel Baltar who stared at her. "We seek help from the people who sent that wreck here."
"We can intervene like that!" Angel Baltar exclaimed. "Pulling someone out of their universe will upset the balance in ways even we can't comprehend!"
"The balance is upset and we have no other way to restore it!" Angel Six retorted. "They need someone to save them!"
"And who would you call? You want to bring the others into this? What happens when he finds out what we're doing?" Angel Baltar stated.
"Do you want them all to die? If they do then the cycle will end but the entire universe will be at their mercy, including the lives of those not born yet!" Angel Six was starting to get angry and it showed on her face.
Angel Baltar looked very tired and old at the moment. "…Who do we call? The ones who sent that wreck? They are not strong enough to face the Cylons as they are now."
"Then we look for help in more than one place." Angel Six answered, not reacting to the look of shock on Angel Baltar's face. "We look for help from another time."
What would happen would change things forever.
Prime Universe
Year 2409
Beta Quadrant
USS Enterprise NCC-1701-F
The flight back to the portal leading to the Milky Way Galaxy for the most part was uneventful but that perhaps to be expected.
"Estimated time to arrival in five minutes." Samuel Winters reported.
"Good. Let's hope our guests are ready for hom-" Shon stopped as the ship suddenly started shaking. "Report!"
"Multiple gravimetric disturbances. Our shields and tractor beams are offline! There's some kind of energy field that's pulling us forward!"
Shon watched as a tear of bright light appeared in space in front of the taskforce, releasing bolts of what appeared to be bolts of lightning that reached and seemingly grabbed the entire taskforce.
"Status of our structural integrity field!" Shon shouted as the lights dimmed on and off.
"It's holding but we're being pulled forward into some kind of subspace fissure!"
"Full reverse!"
"Engines are not responding!"
It was happening to the entire taskforce, including the Republic Star Destroyers who shook hard from being grabbed.
"What's happening?!" Anakin shouted as he gripped the comm table.
"Something's pulling us! We can't break free!" The helmsmen shouted.
"Master…" Ashoka trailed off as she looked at the rift.
Anakin looked at the shining light that was pulling his ship into it. "Brace for impact!"
As the ship grew closer the Jedi onboard were suddenly overcome by visions, much like what had happened before.
"All of this has happened before and all of it shall happen again."
A metallic humanoid figure, holstering a rifle and staring forward a red revolving eye. "By your command. It is done, Imperious Leader."
A planet destroyed as a black hole formed in its core.
A ship that had the name Enterprice but the registry was NCC-1701.
"This is Captain Kirk of the Enterprise. Your ship is compromised, you have no way to escape without assistance which we are willing provide."
"I would rather suffer the end of Romulus a thousand times. I would rather die in agony than accept assistance from you!"
The Enterprise fired on a massive ship as it was eaten by the massive black hole that had been formed from inside it.
Two fleets fighting each other with ships ranging from fighters to collusive battleships.
"There are thirteen models."
"I'm not a Cylon!"
"There must be some way out of here…"
"Said the Joker to the Thief."
"All along the Watchtower."
"Jump!"
"Are you alive?"
"End of line."
"Life here began out there. Those are the first words of the Sacred Scrolls handed down to us by the Lords of Kobol many centuries ago and those words made something perfectly clear. We are not alone in this universe."
"The Thirteenth Colony."
"Signal sent. Entire system will be configured in 178.67 second. The children of the Prince of Darkness move with great speed to consume us. The children of the children have come to save the makers of the makers." The girl said, her voice monotone and her face seemingly in a trance. "The Angels of Light have delivered the grandchildren to save us from the darkness, awakening the great Force of the Universe and brought forth the son of the dark and light who will become both destroyer and creator of worlds. Devices on alert. The Others who stand against the Demons have come. They will save those who will survive to bring forth life once again."
"Humanity's children rises today."
"So say we all!" A man shouted.
A crowd answered. "SO SAY WE ALL!"
"SO SAY WE ALL!"
"SO SAY WE ALL!"
"I'm a fracking Cylon!"
"I don't want to be human! I want to see gamma ray. I want to hear x-rays; I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can't even express these things properly because I have to…I have to… conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid limiting spoken language. But I know I want to reach out with something more than prehensile paws and feel the wind of a super nova flowing over me. I'm a machine and I can know so much more. I can experience so much more, but I'm trapped in this absurd body. And why? Because my five creators thought God wanted it that way."
"The final annihilation of the lifeform known as Man."
Twelve different planets, all of them burning.
"Progress reports coming in."
"The farms of Aerilon are burning."
"The beaches of Canceron are burning."
"The plains of Leonis are burning."
"The jungles of Scorpia are burning."
"The pastures of Tauron are burning."
"The harbours of Picon are burning."
"The cities of Caprica are burning."
"The oceans of Aquaria are burning."
"The courthouses of Libran are burning."
"The forests of Virgon are burning."
"The Colonies lie trampled at the feet of the children."
A flash of light in the blackness of space.
"The makers of the makers falling before the child but the children of the children come, wielding the sword of the Klingon and the power of the Force of the universe that shall save the many. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Apotheosis was the beginning before the beginning. Devices are on alert. Observe the procedures of a general alert. The base and the pinnacle. The flower inside the fruit that is both its parent and child. Decadent the ancestors are the makers and children. The portal in that which passes has delivered the children of the First and awakened the great Force to us."
"The last Battlestar Galactica."
"A shining planet known as Earth."
The ships were all pulled into the rift, vanishing one by one into the light. After the last ship was pulled in the tear seemed to heal itself as it grew smaller and smaller until it vanished.
